artha Char Love does not write this cook book as a
professional nutritionist but more as a mom and lifetime family cook who has
always had the well-being of her family’s gut in mind. She has used her long
years of cooking experience coupled with her professional counseling abilities
to write this book to guide people who have found it necessary due to illness
and health issues or simply from a smart move toward well-being to strive to
make healthy changes to their diets.
You will also find included in Mom's Island Bakens several original recipes from Martha Char Love’s own mother Martha Campbell Whitenton, who was one of the world’s best family cooks. Before Martha Campbell Whitenton passed away in January of 2014, she was very excited that some of her original recipes would be included in this book and also that there would be a version of her recipes altered to include more healthy ingredients for a more nutritious meal. Martha Campbell Whitenton was a woman with a high regard and goals for advanced education of all people and who at one time was a professor of accounting at the same community college, Meridian Junior College, where Martha Char was also teaching psychology and was a full-time guidance counselor.

Martha Campbell Whitenton always stressed to
her family the importance of learning and making changes to meet one’s full human
potential. Her inspiring influence is the reason that Martha Char was able to
freely alter her recipes and invent these new gut and heart healthy meals. Martha
Char demonstrates how to honor your own mother’s cooking by making her recipes
healthier to meet today’s nutritional knowledge and by altering them freely for
your own well-being.
Martha Char
Love, MA, PMA, is also the co-author, along with her colleague Robert W
Sterling, of What’s Behind Your Belly
Button: A Psychological Perspective of the Intelligence of Human Nature and Gut
instinct, available on Amazon and in Hastings bookstores. She has made exploring
and studying the intelligence of the gut response her life work as a former counselor
and professor in psychology in community colleges, a licensed school
psychologist for Alachua County Schools K-12 in Gainesville, Florida, and a
researcher in the field of Analytical Psychology.
Martha Char
Love reminds us that there is much more you can do for your digestive system along
with eating the right foods. She encourages achieving body-mind unity through reducing
stress using the Somatic Reflection Process to explore and understand your gut
feeling responses and emphasizes that this is the key to calming the gut and
having positive gut health. To learn the reflection process technique that will
further increase your gut awareness and well-being, please be sure and explore
